Perhaps the point of the poll was to discover how many people want BUSH to fail in Iraq, regardless of the cost, despite claiming that they want the COUNTRY to succeed there. As I mentioned before, if success is the goal, it doesn't matter whose plan succeeds. Apparently, certain elements don't want Bush to succeed at anything regardless of any adverse effects on the country, the military or the citizenry. The outcome of this poll, flawed or not, shows that.

In a way it is a loaded question. It certainly doesn't tell us "do you want success in Iraq", but it does tell us something. It doesn't distinguish between those who want Bush to fail so much that they would be ok with the coalition failing on one hand, and those who just see Bush and automatically select the negative answer without fully understanding the question on the other. But it does tell us that the total of the two is pretty high among Democrats. (Most of them are probably in the later group not the former)
